since 2004. really, people were not going, there was not a good feel about them. now he gets over two billion dollars. even by the time he pays off all the creditors. >> does he actually get anything? >> by the time he pays the attorneys and creditors, he can probably get buy on $600 million. he is not going to get all two billion and have magic johnson front the thing, that is a pretty big deal. and next time when they are negotiating a contract for a ball player, don't have the owners tell you "we don't have any money." if you can get over two billion, granted it is the dodgers, but that's a big deal. you want to see some uninspiring fan behavior? this is the fifa player of the year. a green laser to its face while attempting a free kick. somebody in the stands. and he slips on the wet field and there it is. barcelona had to settle for a

scoreless draw with milan. it used to be beer and now it is get the guy with a green laser. when we come back, it is final four time for the stanford women. i'll let you take a guess, pam, i'm bringing in an expert tonight to talk. do you have any ideas? >> no. >> his middle name is -- mr. final 4. or the guest didn't show. one or the other. we love vern, people love him. after 21 years, he still -- if he walked down the street with the best player on the sharks, joe thornton, more people would recognize vern. love it. nice talking with you. we'll come back in a moment.
